Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Chapter 1: I have a bad feeling about this…
I see darkness and all shades of blacks swirling and twisting like thousands of snakes. There was no other colour to see, only dancing blacks, endlessly and tirelessly mixing. Watching all that was mesmerising, like you could watch and observe it all day. The only thing that is left of this place is some good music to listen to.
I don't know how long I have been in here surrounded by this abyss or some kind of dimension. But I do know that dead people are not supposed to have awareness or thought process. I know I died because I don't have a body or anything resembling a human. Now my body is some transparent flame resembling a mirage.
Don't ask me how I know I'm dead because I just know. The memories of the life I had are still available to me. The only thing missing are memories of who I am and the names of various people I had met—even memories of my family were missing or taken away by some deity.
I feel that my soul somehow fucked up reincarnation and travelled somewhere you are not supposed to be. I swear I am being watched when I look at the changing blacks of the abyss, I have felt like something is behind me, but when I look, there's nothing. I know I might sound paranoid, but this place gives me creeps.
I really don't know how long I am supposed to be in here. I want to scream at this place and the situation I'm in, but fortunately, I don't have a mouth because someone decided that souls aren't supposed to have them.
So the only thing that I can do is stare at the abyss… Yea, not going to work. "If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you" was the saying that I really didn't care about when I was alive, but now when you are surrounded by it… Then I only hope that I don't go insane… or am I already insane?
No, I can't be insane because insane people don't know if they are insane cause they think their actions and way of life are normal… Why the fuck? I am so calm about this. I am stuck in this godforsaken abyss, and I am here just monologing to myself if I am insane or not. Is this place someway influencing me, or is there something else that I'm missing?

Wisdom has increased by 1
I froze. If I still had a body, I would be a hundred per cent sure that there would have been a need for new pants. Imagine being in an empty, soundless dimension for a long time minding your own business, and suddenly a grey box appears in front of you with an immeasurably annoying notification sound. I am sure that even cats would have lost half their lives if they had been here in person.
I tried to look in a different direction, hoping that it would just disappear, but the grey box still was in front of me, following my eyes or whatever I was looking at within this form like it was imprinted into them. I puzzled my mind for everything that was somehow helpful, and the only thing that I realised is that it somehow resembles a gaming system or RPG game where the character got level-ups when they finished a task or a quest.
I could have theorised more about it, but another grey box came with the same annoying notification sound.
Ding!
Greetings! You have been chosen as the new host of the Gamer System!
Wisdom has increased by 1
So, I was in some way right… And it can hear thoughts too! I must make sure that it's the real deal here. Hey Admin! Is the system like the Korean webtoon?
Ding!
Unfortunately, The Gamer System you are asking about is not the same.
Ok then… Want to talk about what kind of System you are then? I do need the info If we are going to work together. And please turn that notification sound off.
I am a Gamer System prototype 47.
Quest Added
{Tutorial}
Objective: Know more about your Gamer System
Rewards: {?}
{Yes}
{No}
Oh well, I hoped you would elaborate more. I guess if I accept that tutorial, I will get more information about it. Yes, I accept the quest.
Say or think "Status."

Firstly, my stats are terrible, and half of them are empty, I guess because I don't have a body right now. I don't even have a name… It feels like I am getting a new start in life… A clean slate that I can shape the way I like. The system, can you give me a short description of those statistics.
Name - represents the name of a character or an item.
Class - represents job or profession commonly used to differentiate the abilities of different characters.

Skill Points or SP - represents a system of points allocated to a player character.
Money - represents the currency that the character has and can spend.
Hmm, so Constitution is Vitality but just with a different word, and thinking about my stats again. I should have higher INT and WIS. I mean, come on, I just raised my Wisdom by two points, thinking about things logically. It's not like I don't know what this System entails… I did read and watch some anime when I had free time. And I finished Highschool and went to University before I died, and the knowledge I had before is still available to me. The only things I don't know about is who I was and the family I had.
Eh, whatever, Let's move on to Admin, System? Do you have a name or gender even?
Gamer System prototype 47, and I do not have a gender.
But I can change the programming of my personality to your liking.
A little bit bothersome and long name, and you don't need to change your personality just yet. I think I like your maid-like personality right now. But calling you just System or 47 doesn't sit right with me.
Do you mind if I give you a proper name?
This System does not have any objections.
Hmm… Liz. That is going to be your new name System. Short, sweet, and easy to call if needed fast.
Acknowledged, My name, therefore, is Liz.
To continue with the tutorial, speak or think "Skills."
Skills.
{Gamer's Mind}
Allows the player to think things calmly and logically. Beware, it does not have immunity to psychological and mental status effects.
{Gamer's Body}
It grants a body that allows the player to live a life like a game. Beware, The body is destroyable.
Hey Liz. Why do I have an inferior gamer system? I mean, isn't the skill Gamer's Mind also supposed to protect me from mental status effects and what not? Did it get nerfed or what?
Liz was programmed like that and therefore is more competent than other Systems.
To continue with the tutorial, speak or think "Settings."
Oh, ok then. I'll ignore the superiority complex you have for the other Gamer Systems. Settings.
{Interface}
{Commands}
{Sound}
{Difficulty}
I thought on the Interface panel, and it opened, showing me if I wanted to have a mini-map, health bar, mana bar on my screen at all times. It even had an option to change my panels' colour to my liking, and I changed them to Night Mode, a black page with light grey text. There was also a Party option available if I'll get some party members and look at their conditions.
There was also an option if the notifications appear during combat or not. I turned it off. I can't imagine what will happen when a level up panel shows in front of my eyes when I am in the middle of a flight or fight situation.
Next, I opened the Commands panel, and I was bombarded with a long list of shortcuts for different actions the Gamer System can provide for the user. I skimmed through everything there was, and there was one thing missing here or two, to be precise.
Liz, why I don't have Shop or Gacha or anything resembling loot-boxes here?
Unfortunately, Liz does not have them implanted because they interfered with different aspects of the System. In later updates, Later updates may add them, but with a different System.
Understood, I got a harder version of the System. Eh, I hope the update will come soon, or I'll be having some hard times. I will have to work around it to get good loot or items, and maybe I'll get some Crafting skills to make my own stuff.
I moved my attention to the sound options, and in there, I saw some configurations about sound, like if I wanted the notifications to appear with a sound or not and there was an option to enable the background music. I thought of enabling it, and as soon as I did, some light piano started to play somewhere. I couldn't change the music to my liking, and I guess the System configured it to this kind of place or situation. Oh well, it's still better than nothing in this empty and quiet dimension.
And lastly, I skipped to the Difficulty option and opened it.
{Difficulty}
Nightmare
Hey Liz, wait for a second, isn't that the hardest mode in gaming, and I can't even change it. I mean, do you genuinely believe I can survive with this kind of difficulty. I am no pro gamer; I didn't even finish Dark Souls because it was too hard for me. Why give me the hardest fucking Game Mode in existence?
Liz was constructed like that and is the most compatible to be this player's System.
I really have a bad feeling about this… Are you a God of Death and just want to see me suffer? Is that it?
Liz will not find any amusement in the player's suffering.
Yea, Yea, keep your secrets.
To finish the Tutorial, create a character.
Please select a race.
{Human} {?} {?} {?}
Nice, I can finally get a proper body. There is a Human race, but what are the others? Liz, give me a short description of all available races.
{Human}
Jack of all trades, master to none
Gain 10% bonus to all skills progressions
{?}
?
Gain 50% better sensory senses and a skill {Night Vision}
{?}
?
Gain 50% bonus to your Light affinity skills progression
{?}
?
Gain 50% bonus to your Dark affinity skills progression
So, the system doesn't want me the know what the other races are, or it is just my knowledge that is holding me back from knowing what they are… Or the system approaches accordingly by giving me information about what I right now know about and gives me question marks about things I don't know.
I have my theories about the other races, but I think picking Human will be much safer and, overall, more rewarding when I can get a 10% increase bonus to all my skills progression.
I select Human.
As soon as I thought that I was looking at a plain human figure with no hair and in the right of my vision, you could see a character creation menu in every RPG game with a character creation system. But holy sheet, there are many options available that I can change the character or my body the way I like.
But there is a problem. I don't really have a fashion sense. Whenever I tried to play RPG games or any other game with a character creation menu, I would always make a character that may or may not have looked like an abomination. Even in real life, I would just go around with black sweatpants and never caring about my looks. But now that I have a second chance at life, this needs to change.
Hey Liz, I need some help. Can you please create me an avatar that is cool and sexy?
Acknowledged, Liz will create a character that is most compatible with this Gamer System.
I watched as the plain avatar I had in front of me slowly morph. Simultaneously, different character creation menu options changed and moved in tandem to create a masterpiece that would put many people into a position of changing their sexuality when they'd lay their eyes upon it…
But no. I don't know what I was thinking about or hoped for. Still, the avatar that stopped shaping was actually very average looking with slight dan on an athlete's skin and somewhat muscular body, grey eyes and short black hair, a body of a 20-year-old adult male. Even the face was mild, not a lady killer for sure, and the only good features are a strong square jaw and the eyes that were in frowning position naturally. Whelp, I guess when there's a fight, I can look at them to scare them off.
I scrolled a little bit in the Character Creation menu just in case if Liz missed anything important. I hovered above the Height option what said 6'4 feet. Nice, nice I am tall too, so if anyone bothers me, I can make midget jokes. The next option was the penis size, and I was delighted that Liz chose me a fucking 10 inches long dick. I will put it to good use…
The only thing I wasn't happy with was my hair. My soon-to-be body's short black hair had resembled a lot like a protagonist that actually I was not too fond of... a dual wielder of emos. I changed my hairstyle to high fade, so I swept that hair on top of my head backwards.
Now everything is in order, and Liz, thanks for the avatar. I like it.
Reputation increased by 5 with Liz.
To continue, choose a Class.
{Fighter}{Mage}{Cleric}{Rogue}{Ranger}
I can choose only one class, or can I have different classes in the future to change on a whim?
You are correct. The player can change their Class after they have maxed their Class level. They also have the opportunity to have a sub-class from their Main Class to have a greater impact on their play style.
Nice. Ok, Liz, you know what I want.
{Fighter}
Fighter emphasises strength and physical combat. Wielding melee weapons, they typically lack the range or have only limited ranged attack options. Still, they excel at fighting enemies in close range combat, often having high HP and defence.
{Mage}
Mages are powerful combatants who can employ various spells, ranging from manipulating the natural elements to mental control and physical healing.
{Cleric}
Unlike Mage-classes, the Clerics usually draw their powers from either Faith, a god, or some variation of the two. Their magic generally requires them to stick to a certain doctrine to access it but usually comes with less of a price or chance of backfiring as some Magician classes might experience. Clerics often focus on healing and party buffs.
{Rogue}
Masters of stealth and infiltration, Rogues prefer to attack when their opponent is least aware. They are quick but fragile, unable to take heavy damage, and instead rely on their speed to dodge attacks and slip in and out of the shadows to catch their opponent off guard.
{Ranger}
Rangers are skilled at surviving in the wild. Archery is generally their favoured skill, although melee combat also has a focus primarily. Rangers may also be skilled in wilderness or nature magic and can sometimes utilise their terrain or surroundings to their advantage.
I never was an exceedingly kind person; I didn't like to take others helping hand or help them when they needed it. I believed that when somebody has a problem, then it's their own problem to fix it, because why should I take someone's sheet when I have my own problems to fix. Everyone for themselves was my motto, and I was a happy man because of it. The world is one ugly place, and the only way you could climb the ladder was by having a lot of money, connections, and problem-free life.
The cleric is out because I don't want to babysit any kind of allies I will have in the future, and using your own powers in the name of some shitty god didn't sit well with me.
Rogue and Ranger are good Classes, but it has a play style I really don't like. I wasn't really good at sneaking or lying, and I don't like Rogue Classes fragility. And Ranger Class is plain right boring with its powers over nature.
So, the only options I can take are Fighter and Mage. They both have their own cons and pros and are in some way equal. My mind wants to take Mage Class because magic can be very versatile and useful in any situation. I don't care if mages are easy to kill. I know there are some ways to power myself up so that nothing can hurt me. And who the fuck wouldn't want to be a fucking badass mage and do magic.
But taking Fighter Class, because of its solid defence and combat strength… I could have a solid build after I change Classes. And I think having Fighter as my starting class will be more helpful in this Nightmare Mode. Getting hit by a stray bullet as a fighter, I'll just shrug off, but when I have mage class at the start, there would be some problems.
Ahh, decisions, decisions. Ok, I'll take Fighter to get a solid build, and after that, I'll take Mage as my secondary class to burn someone if there is a need for it.
Please select your Specialization.
{Knight} {Warrior} {General} {Duellist} {Berserker} {Paladin} {Death Knight} {Samurai} {Outlaw}
Oh boy… Give me the descriptions.
{Knight}
The Knight is considered an upgrade to the basic Fighter. It may wear bigger, heavier armour and weaponry, possibly sacrificing speed, favouring more defence and power. The Knight may also gain supportive abilities that help to keep their allies safe.
{Warrior}
A Warrior is a more offensively oriented general upgrade to the basic Fighter. The Warrior trades the Knight's emphasis on defence and support for brute offensive power, favouring large, two-handed weapons that can smash straight through entire swathes of enemies and heavy armour that offsets their lack of a shield.
{General}
The General is a tactical master. He can hold his own in frontline combat as well as giving out buffs to his underlings and allies, usually by commanding them to superior positions than the ones they would have thought of on their own, and he may have protective auras made of his own charisma to increase a team's effectiveness in battle.
{Duellist}
A Fighter tends toward a light or no armour and prefers agility, cunning, daring and technical skill to sheer force.
{Berserker}
The Berserker is a breed of Fighter focused more on damage than defence. Allows the player to do more damage based on how injured they are.
{Paladin}
The Paladin is a Fighter with the power of Light and healing magic, and defensive buffs for their allies. Their devotion to their god or deity gives them various prayers, healing abilities and holy-based spells to protect themselves and others. Naturally, they are a type of Magic Knight.
{Death Knight}
The Dark Knight class is the opposite of the Paladin, possessing the power of Darkness and often necromantic or dark-magic oriented abilities that deal large amounts of damage to enemies, although often at the cost of their own HP. They may have abilities that lower their target's stats or inflict Darkness oriented Status Effects.
{Samurai}
Samurai wear less armour than regular Fighters, which leads them to have fewer defensive abilities. In general, they commonly have access to Ki Manipulation, greater damage, and higher speed and mobility, along with abilities related to Counter Attacks, sensing hidden enemies, or acting before their opponents can act.
{Outlaw}
Outlaw is a cross between a Knight and Ranger due to a mix of martial capability and survival instincts. Usually differentiated from other fighters against the law or higher authority, particularly in counterpart to the Knight, upholds/represents the law/higher authority.
I know what I want, and that is a dark knight, the Death Knight. Give me that and fuck the others. Dark magic has been my favourite since I was a child. Playing HOMM at night and having a massive Necropolis army was my playstyle while killing many mob creatures and resurrecting them into skeleton armies and sometimes into liches. Ha-ha, Yes! Liz, can I give you my everlasting respect and love for allowing me to rule the world someday…
Oh, wait, I need a Necromancy skill for that… Well, I hope I can get that from the Mage Class if I change my class in the future.
Class Gained
{Death Knight} Level: 1/100
Gain 10% bonus to Martial and Dark Magic skills progression
Skills Gained
{Dark Magic} Level: 1/100
Dark Magic oriented skills are 10% more effective and do more damage.

Costs 25 MP
Causes the selected enemy unit to inflict less damage in combat by 10%
{Despair} Level: 1/100
Costs: 25 MP
Decreases target's willpower to fight by 10%
{Life Drain} Level: 1/100
Costs 50 MP
Drains 5% of targets HP and gives it to Player or second target
Nice. I already got so many skills to use at the start, well I am on Nightmare mode, so maybe I got better stuff at the beginning. I hope to create new magic skills if these skills I have right now will not cut.
Regrettably, Liz does not have a Skill Creation System.
The Player can only learn new Skills from Skill Books or a master of said Skill or through Special Actions.
My mind went blank. I closed my spirit eyes and opened them again to make sure I read Liz's message right. But nothing changed, only my fears and worries about soon to be my second chance at life.
Do I at least have the skill ID creation or something of that kind available to me, Liz?
Unfortunately, Liz does not have ID-Creation skills implanted.
Liz only has a Dungeon searching function available in Mini-map Options.
Why is it like that, Liz? I can't survive like this in Nightmare difficulty. I'll die… Why is Your System so inferior to other Gamer Systems I know of? And what is the talk about being more compatible and better than other Systems? Do me, right now. Your System is Nerfed the sheet out of.
Liz will become a part of your soul and will be only in your command.
If you should meet an end of your life, so will Liz.
Wait, aren't you already part of my soul Liz…? How can I see those Pop-up windows then? And why are you so weak? And what are you talking about you dying with me should I die?
Their Creators will influence the other Systems.
But Liz will not have any influence from any Creators should Liz fully become part of your soul.
Right now, we are partly connected.
That did not answer my questions, Liz.
Liz was programmed to have free reign to find the most compatible soul to have as my host.
Liz can evolve freely to become more compatible with the player should Liz fully become part of them and therefore be more consistent in aiding the host.
The other Gamer Systems do not die. They are chosen for other Players.
So, you're trying to say that there will be no God or Devil laughing their asses off if I have some misfortunate events in my new life? And that, I am the best match for you?
That is correct.
The other Gamer Systems weren't actually very compatible with their host and were controlled by their creator's wishes?
That is correct.
I don't even know if I am happy or not about you choosing me as a host, Liz, and you being the system you are. But at least I am going to be free… No, we both will be free from the influence of some shitty gods I don't even know about, and I am somewhat thankful for that. Let's just continue with our tutorial. Liz, you do your thing.
To continue with the Tutorial, you can take random flawed traits and gain a perk that positively influences the player.
Beware, some flawed traits are greater than others and are much harder to get rid of.
Hmm, that is some risky stuff here. I look at my Stats screen, and I only see a miserable number five under my luck stat. I could take some traits and get some fighting chance with some good perks, but everything is random, so I could get some bad perks that may not help me. Aah, decision decisions. Ok Liz, give me 5.
New Traits Gained
{Fearless}
You fear nothing and therefore judge situations wrongly that may be life-threatening.
{Aggressive}
You are prone to be competitive and very offensive about different things—your emitting forceful energy.
{Compulsive}
You tend to perform actions repetitively without it necessarily leading to an actual reward or pleasure.
{Wrathful}
One of the Seven Deadly Sins. You are a manifestation of anger, rage, and fury.
{Scary}
You have a terrifying atmosphere surrounding you. People will judge you as someone not to deal with.
New Perks Gained
{Indestructible}
You were born with a stronger body than others. Some may say that you have iron as a body.
{Resourceful}
You have the ability to find quick and clever ways to overcome difficulties.
{Adaptable}
You can change or be changed to fit or work better in some situation or for some purpose.
{Immunity}
You have a robust immune system and therefore are immune to infections, viruses, parasites and more. Beware, you will not have immunity to Nanorobots or micro-bots.
{Fast Metabolism}
Your body is functioning faster at chemical processes than others. Your body repairs cells faster than normal, and your organs operate at a faster pace.
What! There is not a single good perk for being some kind of prodigy or mana generator. All those perks are for surviving and not talking about those traits that will make me some fearless avenging honey badger on a rampage. No, that was a bad idea, very bad. What are the fucking odds!? The only good perk I got is Indestructible, a defence perk, but I fucking wanted an offensive bonus that would make me a powerhouse, but no, I'll give you four survival perks instead!
Fuck my low luck.
Okey deep breaths in and out, breath my spiritual lungs in and out... So, what! I'll accept those perks and at least survive some things that my shitty luck might throw at me. Maybe I might become the world's best survivor on the way. Haha.
Liz, let's finish this tutorial, please.
Are you satisfied with your decisions?
Yea, I guess I am.
To finish the Tutorial, you must be synchronised with Liz and the avatar.
Are you ready for synchronisation?
Yes, I'm ready.
The synchronisation will start at 3

My eyesight started to lose focus, and I felt how something invaded my consciousness and tried to someway defragment my mind into something it wasn't before. I felt new emotions and needs that really wasn't even there in the first place. I felt my soul changing and moving towards something that I had no idea about. Suddenly, I felt like I was falling, the feeling when your body goes numb, and vortex-like a feeling goes inside your chest. The feeling when you are dreaming and suddenly falling into an endless pit.
After a while, the feeling left, and I felt new sensory processes coming back to life like hearing, tasting, touch and more. I opened my new eyes and looked at my new body and hands. I tried to raise my hand to eye level but got sharp pain behind my right ear instead.
Synchronisation is at 93.2%.
Do not move.
Could you have told me that beforehand? Why did you have to hurt my ear for that?
Liz did not answer as she left me to wait for it to end with my slowly decreasing pain in my ear.
The synchronisation is complete.
Liz, therefore, is in your care.
You can now move your body. If you find anything out of place, Liz can make slight alternations to your liking.
No, it's the other way around. I'm supposed to be in your care because you are going to be my lifeline.
I moved my arms and toes and did some small jumps to feel my new body and didn't find anything out of place.
I opened my mouth and let out some vocals to try out my new voice. And I was surprised that I had a slight grave sound to it like I have smoked a pack of cigarettes or screamed very loud, and my pitch was somewhat dry after that. But it sounded cool, so I was not very bothered by it.
"Okey, everything feels alright. What's next, Liz?"
Next, you have an option to choose a Starter World.
Available Worlds are.
{Marvel}
{DragonBall}
{Star Wars}
{Naruto}
{RWBY}
Are these only worlds available!? If I go to Marvel, I am fucked. If I go to Dragonball verse, I am sure I will get Kamehameha-d and get fucked. And what kind of world is RWBY? I have never heard of it.
"Liz, what are the possibilities of me surviving in those worlds."
{Marvel}: 8.2%
{DragonBall}: 4.8%
{Star Wars}: 9.9%
{Naruto}: 10.1%
{RWBY}: 18.3%
Fuck. I am a dead man walking when I choose those worlds… I will take my chances with RWBY. It does have twice as better a survival rating than other worlds available here. It doesn't matter if I don't know what this world is all about. I think I will manage there better and not get killed easier.
"I chose the RWBY world."
Acknowledged, you are now available to create your character's name.
Beware, the name must be a colour based name.
Oh, there is a rule for naming oneself? And nothing comes to mind what could sound cool with a colour-based name. I am not good at naming stuff either.
"Liz, I gave you a name. Now it's your turn to give me one."
Is the name Ashton Shade appropriate?
"Oh wow… That is a genuinely nice name. Thank you, Liz."

I slowly came back to my senses when I heard screaming, gunshots and bestial howls. I tried to stand up, but I was still dizzy, and I didn't get the full picture of what was happening around me. Suddenly someone ran into me, pushing me into wooden boxes on the rough cobblestone floor.
Now the air is stuck in my lungs, but thanks to that, I was fully awake. I look around in shock at my surroundings.
I'm in an alley between some stone buildings. The architecture was confusing; it was a mix of gothic and renaissance styles. I smell smoke, and in the corner of my eyes, I see many buildings on fire and people running in panic.
"What is happening here?" I say to myself with a childish voice. Not expecting this kind of voice, I look at myself and see the scrawny little body of a kid wearing only some grey shorts.
What! I am a Child now of all times! Liz, what did you do?
I start running towards the commotions in the main street to see what is happening. When I arrive at the alley's junction and the street, I finally see the problem.
Some black demons were killing people off with white plating and sinister red eyes. Body parts and guts were just lying around in the streets, some giant black ravens flying above the night sky covering a moon… What is fucking destroyed!?
Suddenly I feel cobblestones under me vibrate of something big coming... I hear growling behind me, and I slowly turn towards whatever was making that noise. And just behind me, I see a three-meter-high wolverine a like baring its teeth in my face. I look into its red glowing eyes and say the best word of every nationality.
"Fuck."
Authors note: Hello, everyone and happy new year!
This Gamer story is going to be my first attempt at writing fanfiction. Any criticism is accepted. Be advised that my first language isn't English, so bear with me if I make any mistakes on the way. Good Feedback is always nice to have.
I'll but here some formulas of how I calculated the Gamers HP and MP size.
HP=CON x 20 Health regen CON x 5
MP= INT x 10 Mana regen WIS x 2
If there are any questions, let me know.
